Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2024, published 113rd ILC session (2025)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Guernsey

The Committee notes the observations of the Trades Union Congress (UK) (TUC), received on 13 October 2023. The Committee notes that according to the TUC, national legislation lacks provisions protecting strike action. The TUC indicates that in a labour dispute between the Negotiating Committee for Teachers and Lecturers in Guernsey (NCTLG) and the Government’s Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) over a pay award package for 2022–24, a judgment by the Employment and Discrimination Tribunal enforced a pay award, preventing any potential strike action, while during a 2019 dispute between the Royal College of Nursing and the Government, the Government allegedly declared that there is no right to strike on the island. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments thereon.
